Hi friends,
I'm working on the official documentation for the Band in a Box plugin, but to at least get you poking at the right buttons, here are the basics:
1. Song file: Open or create your song file
2. Style: Use the Style Picker to select the style/substyle that you wish and click in the score where you want the accompaniment to begin (eg. measure 1 beat 1).
3. Chord names: Enter the chord names manually, or have Composer automatically analyze the chord names for the existing accompaniment.
4. Intros and endings: Decide if you would like to have a special "intro" for your song, and select the number of measures of intro to add to the beginning of the song. You can also select to have the last 2 measures of the song played as a "finale" finish.
5. Takes: Click the "Generate" button to have accompaniment generated automatically for your song. You can select different styles and create multiple takes to have a variety to select from or to combine using Composer's editing tools.
